The Nintendo Switch 2 reveal this morning lends significant credence to earlier rumors about Joy-Con mouse functionality.
The reveal trailer shows detached Joy-Cons placed attachment-side down on a surface, connecting to flat-bottomed connectors. These then move across the surface like a mouse on a mousepad. A visible slider pad on one connector further supports this theory.
Pre-reveal speculation centered on an internal Joy-Con sensor, similar to those in computer mice. While Nintendo hasn't officially confirmed this, the possibilities are exciting. Fans envision applications in traditionally mouse-and-keyboard-centric games like Civilization, while others anticipate innovative uses within Nintendo's first-party titles. The possibilities remain open.
Despite the uncertainties surrounding potential mouse support and a new Joy-Con button, we have key information about the Switch 2: its name, a 2025 release, and an upcoming Mario Kart title. Backward compatibility with the original Switch is confirmed, with further software details promised in an April Direct. Stay tuned for more Switch 2 updates.
